    Challenging for the WWE championship is in the future booking plans for The Miz according to F4Wonline.com.

    While the suspension of R-Truth was a factor for splittng up The Miz and R-Truth's tag team, WWE is planning on having The Miz be a challenger to CM Punk's WWE championship in the next few months.

    That's good I guess, but if they can't get Jericho then who does Punk face at Mania if he still has the title?

    You know what? Nash might be a good choice. Both he and Punk have a history and as long as Nash LOSES at the end the whole thing might turn out to be pretty epic.

    I don't want Nash anywhere near the WWE title scene. Leave that sort of thing to TNA.

    Full Smackdown spoilers:
    Mark Henry comes out on a crutch and cuts promo saying he will fight through his leg injury. Big Show comes out. H tells Henry that what he just did to him, Henry did to Show. Henry called Show the world's largest loser. Show laid out Henry with KO punch. Daniel Bryan came out and cashed in MITB. We have a new champion.

    Not so fast. Teddy Long comes out and says Henry was not cleared to compete. He takes Title off of Bryan and gives it back to Henry.

    This set up a Fatal 4 Way for the Number one contendership. The winner faces Henry for Title next week I think, then winner of that match faces Big Show.

    Hunico beat Justin Gabriel.

    Alicia Fox joins commentary. Divas tag match. Beth & Natty vs. AJ and Kaitlyn. Very quick. Natalya wins with The Sharpshooter on AJ. Post match there was a beatdown. Fox makes save.

    Zack Ryder was backstage playing the WWE '12 video game. Sheamus comes in. Comedy ensues. They are tagging tonight vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger. Now Long is on the screen and getting heavy boos. Henry comes in and is pissed about defending next week. Funny stuff from both. Long makes it a steel cage match for title next week.

    Jack Swagger and Dolph Ziggler vs. Sheamus and Zach Ryder. It was a long match and really good. The crowd was hot. Ryder won with The Rough Ryder on Ziggler.

    Backstage, AJ is pissed at Daniel Bryan for leaving her out there while Beth and Natty attacked her. Wade Barrett comes and tries to intimidate Bryan.

    Ted DiBiase vs. Heath Slater. At the bell, Jinder Mahal pops up on screen speaking a foreign language. He is talking to DiBiase. He self translates saying that Ted turned his back on his wealthy family. The match begins while he's talking. The crowd is not into this match at all. It's almost as if we haven't been given a reason to care about either of these two in years. It's a shame, they are working their asses off. Decent match. Ted DiBiase goes over clean.

    Cody Rhodes cuts promo backstage. He talks about throwing water at an announcer. Then says he's gonna win the 4-way.

    The Fatal 4-way is up next. Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett vs. Cody Rhodes.

    Daniel Bryan wins when Cody taps. Cody did a post match beatdown on Bryan until Orton made the save. That was the end of smackdown.

    Dark main event is Orton and Bryan vs. Barrett and Rhodes. I'm sure the faces will win to send us home happy. My wife is 8.5 months pregnant so we are going to beat the crowd to the parking lot. Goodnight from Wilkes-Barre, PA.

    Show sounds pretty eh actually which is a shame since Smackdown has been pretty great over the last month or so. They are setting up a midcard feud with Dibiase so that's good I guess, though I didn't expect it to be with Mahal since most thought they've already written him off. Kinda surprised Booker didn't confront Cody but they have plenty of time till TLC.

    Not if it's booked properly. And regarding the actual matches, Punk would know how to get a good performances out of him.

    I'm one of the biggest Nash fans ever

    And even I think the thought of him holding any major wrestling title in 2011/12 is the worst idea

    Never said he'd win the title.

    Nash should be nowhere near a WWE title match. There is literally no way to book that properly, because it's absurd.

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom try The Substance it changed my lifeRegistered User regular
    The only way that could actually be a worse idea is if he won it with another Fingerpoke of Doom

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    I mean, especially at Wrestlemania, that's a bad idea. If Punk has the title, give a guy on the roster (like Ziggler or Miz, to name just two) a spot. You don't need any other old timers in marquee matches on the show, with the Rock there. The only reason CM Punk should face a classic superstar would be if they could wrangle Stone Cold, and if they do, Punk shouldn't have the title.

    It wouldn't make sense for Cena to have it against the Rock and it sure as hell wouldn't make sense to have Punk defend it against Nash.

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom try The Substance it changed my lifeRegistered User regular
    I mean, I could see them not wanting to give another new guy a rub at WM by beating Punk for the belt if he has it, because the Daniel Bryan title shot, plus Ziggler's getting a big push so far, and Miz being Miz still, plus the constant possibility that this year might be the year they finally end the Streak at the hands of a person who deserves a big rub

    But giving the shot to Nash, of all the vets on your roster?

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    I'm just saying a Punk/Nash feud already has a backstory and as long as Nash is on his back at the end it should be good. It doesn't even have to be at Mania either, I just want to see them settle what they started.

    The thing is that Nash kind of really, really sucks.

    Dammit I'm not going to get in an argument with everyone regarding Nash's current ring skills. Yes he's even more immoble now than in his "prime" but he's back to being an actual threatening heel now instead of his cool heel bullshit that only worked when he was with Hall, and THAT train has long passed. So if, after his feud with Hunter is over, he moves on to face Punk and resolve that issue I have no problem with it as long as Nash loses in the end.

    As long as Nash doesn't tear another quad

  • LockedOnTargetLockedOnTarget Registered User regular
    At a filler ppv sure, I still wouldn't like it but I'd accept it, but Nash in a Wrestlemania main event is not something I want to ever see again.

  • SarcasmoBlasterSarcasmoBlaster Austin, TXRegistered User regular
    Let's say Nash goes over Triple H at TLC. I could see Nash vs. Punk at RR. I'd be nice filler feud for 1 month, and an ok way to keep Punk hot before feuding with Miz. That the absolute most Nash should be used for right now. He'd shouldn't be anywhere near a WM main event, or even a prolonged feud.

    That SD looks good to me.

    Some stuff:

    Actress and singer Jennier Hudson revealed to Ebony magazine that her fiancee WWE Superstar David Otunga saved her life by convincing her to go to Florida with him where he was working for WWE's Florida Championship Wrestling, rather return to her family's home in Chicago back in 2008 when they were brutally murdered.

    "He wanted me to come out to Florida with him instead of going to Chicago. I flew out to see him; that's why I'm still here. I've never said that before, and I can't believe I just said that now."

    Hudson talked about rumors of problems between her and Otunga's wedding due to him not wanting to sign a prenuptial agreement. Hudson said the rumors weren't true and that she has to deal with some personal issues before she does anything else.

    Possible spoiler for It Begins promo
    PWI reports that the promos are for Jericho, but a deal is not yet in place. Vince wanted to get the word out now.

    But then according to Jericho on twitter he'll be in Hawaii on January 2nd

    And according to Meltzer, talks broke down between Vince and Chris and its considered a "dead issue" for right now

    Skip Sheffield's been removed from the roster page and his page is inaccessible. This could be a repackaging instead of a future endeavoring, as WWE filed for a trademark for the name Ryback, a name Skip used prior to joining WWE's development system.

    About that botched spoiler Goose posted about Jericho

    The Hawaii thing just sounds like an excuse for why people shouldn't think it's him

  • Sweeney TomSweeney Tom try The Substance it changed my lifeRegistered User regular
    Holy shit
    The Wrestling Observer reports that Mark "Bison" Smith passed away today from a massive heart attack in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Smith, 38, was best known for his work in Puerto Rico and in Pro Wrestling NOAH.

  • LockedOnTargetLockedOnTarget Registered User regular
    That's too bad. I've only seen a little bit of Bison's ROH stuff but he seemed like a pretty unique guy. Always sucks to see someone die so young.

    Its also Bret Hart's excuse before he showed up unexpected on a PPV or Raw or something, I forget.

    When I saw the video my first thought was Jericho, the whole doomsday thing seemed to fit with the Y2J stuff, but then other people were saying Taker which made sense.

    God I would love for him to be back. And yeah, the Hawaii thing seems like evasion/joke to get people to stop pestering him about it.

    Also, Punk/Miz at WM would be great. Doubly so if Daniel Bryan Danielson is in the other title match.

    Didn't that video have a pretty blatant shot of a red mask burning in fire?

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    they aired a kane video on raw, the video that they're talking about is one they only put online

  • XehalusXehalus Registered User regular
    red + fire = Kane

    but who knows

  • SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    The Kane video was also Kane most likely because it had Kane in it.

    Seriously, seriously, seriously unimpressed by the aborted Daniel Bryan cash in. Unless there's a DB heel turn, which is crazy unlikely now he's making smoochey times with AJ, then it just makes him look like a dick.

    I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.

    Thanks for that little video, Magell. My copy is coming on Friday. Can't wait. I think I am going to just make my one CAW and then dl everything else. I used to make so much shit in Fire Pro. I think it is time I just use other people's work and play the game.

    Except you're missing the part where his smoochy times is threatened by his inattentiveness (there's a segment where she chastises him for leaving her hanging)

    From what I gather the smoochey times happens after the chastisement, so, you know, make up smoochies. There is an acceptable path out of this now for me. Bryan wins next week but then loses the title to Big Show. Henry ambushes Big Show post match giving Bryan the perfect opportunity to cash in. From there he can either heel turn or fully embrace the noble path.

    WWE 12 is pretty fun. Gameplay feels smoother. Been playing Universe mode all day.

    Yoshi Tatsu got a career-ending injury in his first week. Poor guy.

    Can you give more details on what makes universe mode better than last year's?

    Yeah, this is what I really want to know as well. The concept of it last year was pretty great but it fell flat. Constant run ins before matches and some really wonky booking, like the same guy being booked for three matches in a ppv started to irk me.

    If it's been upgraded significantly I may go snag a copy over the long weekend.
